Off to Ottawa General Hospital.
I spoke with the 3rd year intern and he seemed very smart, he had mentioned brain surgery and Peter and I were a little freaked. He explained about starting to take dexamethosone if it's necessary. When he went to talk to Dr Malone and came back, they decided NO SURGERY!! Dr Malone was very busy and since my situation wasn't really severe he did not come talk to me, which was okay. I've had the 3rd year intern before and he is very good. I have to go back to see him and Dr Malone in 6mths. So it's up to me and Peter to keep an eye on eye problems, headaches, swelling and other things..in that case, straight to ER at KGH. So far so good.
